Hey everybody, thanks for logging on today. Hope all is well. Go ahead and start sending in your questions and I’ll get started shortly.
Did you think the blocked kick was illegal?
No, and I explained why in today’s Inbox. Looked to me like the long snapper kept his head down longer intentionally, and he can’t try to protect himself that way.
Well Mike, I guess Wes didn’t post my comment in II, but I felt it was T-shirt worthy. When asked in the game blog if the Bears’ press box food was still bad (OK, I did use a common Bear adjective when asking Wes), I loved your response, “Today did not alter reality.” Is that a Spoffism, movie quote, or what?
Oh, that was just my line. Came up with it in the moment. I’ve been covering games at Soldier Field since 2006 and have yet to feel like I had a good meal in the press box. It is what it is.
The outcry over the blocked FG is amusing to me. Pretty sure you’re Spoff on. (sorry)
It’s interesting because on the previous Bears placekick, the chip shot FG early in the third quarter, the Packers got pretty good penetration up the middle. Both Brooks and Wyatt were in there, it looked to me.

Any news on Jaire Alexander‘s injury?
Nope. I’ll be headed to practice in less than an hour.
Brenton Cox Jr. made a couple nice plays when unblocked. Did you notice how he did setting the edge, or with the read option?
I focused my film study on the offensive and special teams film this week. Didn’t really look closely at the defensive film.
Bears sent that play into the league. Not sure they’ll be happy they get told it’s fine.
Happens to teams all the time.
Do you think MarShawn Lloyd will get any carries this week? I know it’s a bit early, but curious.
Lloyd had an emergency appendectomy last week, from what I understand. He’ll be out a while yet.
Hi Mike, thanks for the content. It was so nice to see Jordan Love look like himself again. I thought the 2nd quarter 3rd and 11 that he converted to Christian Watson was what we needed to see. A chaotic pocket around him and he…
